Milton S. Hershey (the inventor of Hershey chocolate) started up the Milton S. Hershey School for orphaned white boys that have nowhere to go. Now there's black and white, boys and girls going there. Stephen Girard owned a fleet of trade ships and before he died he opened up the Girard College in Philadelphia for underprivileged white boys. Now there's black and white, boys and girls going there. These people made their own money, opened their own schools, and it was their dying wish that only certain people can go there. Do you think it's ok for the government to override a will in the name of political correctness?

no , but at the same time if there was an All White Collage and an All While Miss America the ACLU the NAACP and all of the other communist orgs. would be up in arm's. But then there's the All Black Collage as well as the All Black Miss America, and that's OK with the NAACP the ACLU and all of the other communist org's.and they don't say a thing.If the white student's wanted to start an all white group, like the all black groups that already exist they would be screaming that it's racist. So when our liberal politicians put their nose in someone else's wish it's OK as long as it's for a liberal way of thinking.That's the problem with this Country the minority get to push their agenda down the throats of the majority. Why do you think the middle east has a problem with the west. Their afraid it is going to taint their culture. It has tainted ours hasn't it. Yes it has. As long as we let the minority push their agenda their going to push ,and push hard.

That is one of the few things the government does that i actually agree with. This isnt the 30's anymore there never was or is a need for segragation. Whether it is seperating between races or genders its wrong.
The people who opened those schools and such lived during a different period of time when segregation was not right but accepted. So, yes I do think its ok!

Political Correctness does seem to bypass the line further and extra these days. even nevertheless we could desire to consistently look on the origins of political correctness, why it even exists.... it fairly is not basically a racial element. it fairly is incorrect to call somebody retarded or crippled these days, there are "the appropriate option" words alongside with disabled. it fairly is the comparable with calling people of particular races by skill of names that they approve of quite than words that have derrived from racism or different negatve origins. it fairly is not in all hazard a foul element, to call somebody or say something in a miles less offensive way is genuinely greater advantageous for each guy or woman. So in some appreciate political correctness is right here becuase of ourselves and our very own previous ignorances. It does bypass too a good distance nevertheless while persons are prevented from doing their very own element. exhibiting a nativity scene in a shop window is actual fantastic, and that i do no longer think of the different non secular guy or woman could whinge, afterall they could be responsive to the way importat faith is to 3 people, basically like they themselves are waiting to have fun and worship freely. To be ordinary nevertheless, the persons who come out with the Politcal Correctness that seems to offend a great sort of tend to be goverment or council officers who have not have been given the rest to do, yet decide for to charm to 3 lime-gentle for "attempting to make the worldwide a nicer place". Minority communities in Britain do no longer decide for to break anybody else's relaxing, in the event that they did they could be stereotyped against and hated. it fairly is the british-born white-collar do-gooders that reason those frustrations and divisions.

wow, is THIS a volatile question! Are you trying to start a fight, man? In my opinion, if their dying wish was to open a school for JUST underprivilaged white boys, then they weren't very good people. You can't exclude other underprivilaged children just because they're girls or black. That **** might have worked back in the 1800s, but not today.

How could a man who made such a good candy bar turn out to be such a jerk? Take care of all orphaned children, or I'll go off Hershey Bars and bankrupt the company.

No, I don't think the over-ride is cool, and I think that by preventing a person to use the fruits of their labor to benefit a select group of individuals is in conflict with the whole notion of familial wealth handed down over the ages and smacks of socialism.

Yes. Just because the people who created the school was racist doesn't mean that the school should remain like that forever. It needs to get with the times.

No way! I've never heard of "Hershey Chocolate" either but, that's so disturbing, imagine that if someone took apart your last influence on earth without any authority.
That's terrible!

I understand what you are saying, but it isn't a matter of being politically correct. It's about being human and treating humans as equals...which we are, regardless of color.
